It’s been 38 degrees celcius over here … and now (about 45 minutes before the UHH) it’s 37.
At least it’s 25-ish in here, so I’m not sweating like a pig.

I also got those speedpaints thinking that (a) they’re much cheaper than Contrast and (b) appear to be more consistent overall.
The one thing I do know is that I definitely have ‘enough’ paint.
Current collection :
= a few GW Contrast paints
= Scale 75 instant colours
= Armypainter megaset
= Speedpaints big box
= (future) the Scale75 acrylics in tubes (when that kickstarter delivers)
and whatever I got as part of kickstarters that had paint sets as an option because I thought that would be a good thing at the time.

It is a bit overkill, but at the same time I feel like the entry level sets are a bit too restrictive unless you already know what you’re going to paint. Not having a nearby FLGS with a good selection of paints isn’t helping either.

From a practical point of view I need to start assembling and priming stuff so I can start painting.

Inspiration is a bit lacking though and I got zero artistic skill in picking the right combo of colours.
I may have fixed the latter by googling for websites that give practical info :
